Couple questions regarding DayZ 1.8.1 patch

[SideFX (DayZ) 0]

Hey guys, I am having a bit of a problem that I am not sure if it is something on my end or due to the new patch 1.8.1, but has Global chat (Sidechat) been disabled in the new mod? If so, is there an option to enable it?

 

Another question is, in the change log it states admins can now edit server loot. I see the option to enable edited server loot, but I do not see anywhere to actually edit the loot that spawns.

 

Does anyone have any further info on these two issues I am having?

 

Thanks!

*Edit Sidechat issue is now fixed. I went ti description.ext, removed one of the disabled channels, restarted the server, and re-added the disabled channel. All back to normal.

 

Still trying to figure out the "loot spawns edited by server admin" stuff.. And I also noticed that custom buildings added via the database, are no longer spawning in the server. Has anyone had any experience with this issue?

For side chat in the file description.ext look for disableChannels[] = {0,1,2,6}; and change to disableChannels[] = {0,2,6};

 

There is no way to edit loot spawns without editing the system.

Thanks, R4Z0R49

 

It was interesting, I did not have sidechat disabled in the "DisabledChannels" but as soon as I did a edit in there and restarted the server, Sidechat was working. Gotta love when the server fixes it's self! ;)

 

As for the loot, I thought I saw something on the change logs in regards to server admins changing loot. (*Edit: I see now its a feature that will be updated).

 

Anyways, thanks for all your hard work and help. Keep it up!

 

If you ever need bodies to help test, let me know!

 

Thanks

Easy fix there is add them to your Server Folder as I did it relieves the client side stress of the game and helps the FPS abit
